Enemy in the Room



"This is why our faith will ultimately win over the world, because it is not just faith, but also a way to love, a way to govern. All aspects are united as one. Others are splintered into political factions, denominations, 'church and state.' Allah has designed Islam in this way so that one day his truth will rule the world. While everyone in the West argues and debates, we will command." (pg 159).

In the chilling novel, Enemy in the Room by Parker Hudson, readers get a first hand look at the very possibility that what we think is private is really public knowledge for those with the right technology to gain an advantage not only in business, finances but also in promoting their own political agenda without anyone knowing about it. In this case under the pseudo name of USNet ran by Trevor Knox, a man who is about to plan for the downfall not only of America, but also the world so that Islam can rule and reign as he believes Allah would command.

He has managed to use technology to spy on cell phone conversations and emails using key words to generate a series of closer scrutiny to see how it might benefit one of his corporations, whether in the adult film industry, telecommunications, banking or one of his other many vast holdings as he works to gain even more real estate all around the globe in order to see his plans come to fruition. He has covered his tracks well and no one is any wiser as they go about their normal business day while he grows stronger financial in every area. The only thing standing in his way is the President of the United States who is implementing policies around the globe that will impact his future in a negative way and she must be stopped at all costs.

Terrorist plots continue around the globe and is seems as if they are one step ahead of the game without anyone discovering how they are doing it. As some of Knox's employees begin to question some of their companies business interests, he insures that they will simply disappear in a random series of accidents which lead authorities on a wild goose chase. Now the clock is ticking as both the leaders of the United States and Russia plan a meeting that could end the adult film industry, the one that garners the most money for Knox and he will stop at nothing to make sure that they are both eliminated without their governments knowing how he plans to do it.

I received Enemy in the Room by Parker Hudson compliments of Edge Press for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation for a favorable review and the opinions contained here are strictly my own personal ones. This novel really invites readers to look at just how insecure our technology really is and how comfortable we are in sharing information without any regard to how it might be used. While this novel is a fictional story, it is chilling to consider just how true the story might be considering how many of our freedoms we take for granted are now being changed and altered. It really provokes some serious thought into world and cyber security and that is precisely what I believe the authors intentions are in writing this novel. For me this one garners a 5 out of 5 stars.

The Sky Might be Falling, But God is Coming Soon!



Everywhere you look around you there seems to be another crisis on the news that causes you to wonder and shake your head. More beheadings and people being burned simply for the sake of preaching the Gospel and being believers of Jesus Christ; Muslims living within our own countries borders are now asking for us to change our culture to meet their needs. not to sell pork, to allow them to dress the way they want to accommodate their religious beliefs, acknowledge that they can take time away at school for prayer and even ask for days off for religious holidays according to the Muslim beliefs. Where are the people crying about separate of church and state when it comes to the religious beliefs of Muslims? Why can't believers of Jesus get the same kind of consideration and since when did our laws begin to change to accommodate people who are moving here who are worshipers of Islam?

Even more outrageous are the laws that are looking to be changed, that boys who believe they should have been born girls and vice versa now can use the restrooms of either gender in public schools? That the once honored Girl and Boy Scouts are now accepting gay men and women as scout leaders? Now the Supreme Court sits on the cusp of how they will vote on the definition of marriage to accommodate the same sex marriage groups?

Can it literally get any worse? You have droughts that are unheard of in the state of California who sits on the edge of storm fronts that should bring rain to the state, only to withhold the rain and simply by the state by without a drop: or weather forecasters who predict a storm only to have it vaporize just as it grows near the state of California, while you have biblical flooding in the state of Texas? Severe heatwaves in India that are taking the lives of people just trying to find relief from the heat, and earthquakes all over the world. I believe these are just the beginning of what is to come.

Either two things will happen, a revival will happen to cause people to turn back to God, or things will get even more worse than you'd ever imagine they are right now. It is hard to sit back at being 50 years old now and wonder when did it all get so crazy. I mean honestly looking back at a handful of years it seems like things have definitely escalated. Our current president is walking away from supporting everything this blessed nation was founded on, as an abrupt slap in the face of the American people and NO ONE is doing anything to stop it. Has America fallen asleep?

Yet, in the midst of even everything that is happening around me, the ones that ask me, "Why? God, O why?" I know that the Bible has long predicted that one day, the days would grow so bad that people would simply beg for them to end rather than go through another day. I think those days are coming up more quickly than we'd ever believe would be possible.

But as a believer in Jesus Christ, I can rest in my assurance, that the God I serve, has not forgotten His people. He never said that those times would be easy for us to bear, since the world will grow to hate us as much as they hated Him, and persecution would only grow more intense as the time of His arrival draws near. Thankfully the Bible and the words found in it, the promises God has provides is truly the only security we need. We will never be punished by God, but we will be persecuted by man, this world and the enemy that rules this world for now.

We have see the starting of the Apocalypse clock begin to tick away and mark down the minutes before Jesus returns for his church the moment that Israel was regathered after being scattered in 70 A.D. when Titus rose in Ancient Rome. The fall of the temple, the scattering of the Jewish people and that judgment would come to Israel was just as the Bible predicted. Now again just after WWII we have the Jewish people returning to their homeland in Israel and in 1948, in one day the nation of Israel became a state, just as predicted in the Bible. Now they simply needed to gain control of Jerusalem, which they did after the six day war in 1967, for the first time in 2000 years.

This is the very reason that Jerusalem remains such a contested place in the Middle East between the Jews and Palestinians. The Palestinians however refuse to believe that the Jews have a right to exist. You have to understand that God, gave the land of Israel to the Jews in Deuteronomy 1:8, "Behold, I have set the land before you; go in and take possession of the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Issac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their descendents after them." Amplified Bible,

The Bible is beginning to set the stage for the next events in Bible prophecy, for in the last days, Israel will be isolated from the rest of the world and will stand alone. Has this happened yet? I believe it is already being staged as we watch our own president withdraw our nations support of Israel, virtually unheard of.

The Bible predicts in Ezekiel 38 that the nation of Israel will be attacked from the enemies of the North, and if you look at the tiny 9 mile wide nation of Israel, you will see that Russia is directly north of Israel. Russia has not hidden the fact that it supports the nations that despise Israel offering support in the funding of military power to those nations of Iran, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and other nations in the region. Interesting that those same nations are all Muslim nations that believe in the destruction of Israel off the face of the map. Currently there are 120,000 rockets aimed at Israel by Hezbolah today, while Iran continues to mock the world with their claims that they are building a nuclear power plant and not weapons.

The small state of Israel is at the point of truly standing alone. It is living in confidence for the first time with the most respected military in the world. The other nations know that when Israel threatens to do something, they will. They are not afraid to stand against greater nations who threaten their destruction daily.

Most terrorist groups are followers of Islam. The world right now, I believe is simply waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop. ISIS is gathering children as young as 9 and training them in what they are calling cubs of caliphate. Young women are being trained by terrorist groups and those that won't are sold into the sex traffic trade.

The Bible predicts in 2 Timothy 3:12-13 ~ "Indeed all who delight in piety and are determined to live a devoted and godly life in Christ Jesus will meet with persecution (will be made to suffer because of their religious stand). But wicked men and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and leading astray others and being deceived and led astray themselves." (Amplified Bible).

So when you see these things happening, don't worry if you are a follower of Jesus. He warned us to watch for the signs of His coming and I believe we are beginning to see that He isn't that far off.

When Did Christians Become Terrorists?




It seems that is the popular opinion when you ask most people around the world. Never in history, has there been such a hatred towards the label, "Christian." While many of us wear it with pride, there are those that run from it as if you had labeled them "Anti-American" or even "Radical Terrorists."

You've seen it every single time, Christians stand up for anything that contradicts what the world wants, from taking a stand on traditional marriage being between a man and woman ONLY, to defending the rights of unborn children from being aborted and companies paying for it and supporting a woman's right to do as she wishes with her body.

Oh how my heart grieves even now seeing how far we have fallen as a once great nation. One who stood for the principles of truth founded in the Bible to support our formation of the Mayflower Compact, and then subsequently our Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution. Where are the strong men and women of integrity that will put a stop to the crazy roller coaster ride America is riding?

Let me share these godly principles that founded this great nation but the first people who came here looking for freedom from oppression from the King James of England who wanted to censor their religious beliefs and were facing persecution. (Sound familiar?) They were not all from the same religious denominations but they all had the same core beliefs in the one true God much like the Catholics, Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans and Christians do now. This is an exact, line-by-line transcription of the Mayflower Compact. Spelling and punctuation have not been modernized. 

In ye name of God Amen· We whose names are vnderwriten,
the loyall subjects of our dread soueraigne Lord King James
by ye grace of God, of great Britaine, franc, & Ireland king,
defender of ye faith, &c
Haueing vndertaken, for ye glorie of God, and aduancemente
of ye christian ^faith and honour of our king & countrie, a voyage to
plant ye first colonie in ye Northerne parts of Virginia· doe
by these presents solemnly & mutualy in ye presence of God, and
one of another, couenant, & combine our selues togeather into a
ciuill body politick; for ye our better ordering, & preseruation & fur=
therance of ye ends aforesaid; and by vertue hearof, to enacte,
constitute, and frame shuch just & equall lawes, ordinances,
Acts, constitutions, & offices, from time to time, as shall be thought
most meete & conuenient for ye generall good of ye colonie:  vnto
which we promise all due submission and obedience.  In witnes
wherof we haue herevnder subscribed our names at Cap=
Codd ye ·11· of Nouember, in ye year of ye raigne of our soueraigne
Lord king James of England, france, & Ireland ye eighteenth
and of Scotland ye fiftie fourth. Ano: Dom ·1620·|

What do you notice? What stands out about this document? Because our current president would have you believe that this great nation was not founded on any "Christian" principles. Ah, I beg to differ Mr. President. Perhaps you need to do some fact checking. The original colonists that came on the Mayflower, were ones who stood up for the Christian faith, notice the bold word christian? I didn't put it there, the Pilgrims who came here wrote that as their first document and they knew how to apply Biblical truth to civil affairs as seen in the Mayflower Compact, which was the first expression of civil government that recognized the Christian idea of man and government.

Apparently our current President needs to take a refresher course on American history that has not be rewritten or changed to what the current world view would have us believe is true history. Oh wait unless the Pilgrims didn't really come here to America or the Mayflower Compact is fake? Are you seeing my point. It's irrefutable. Here is the image of the original document.



Don't you remember being taught all about this in school when God was still part of the program? Do any of you remember morning prayer being followed by our Pledge of Allegiance? Then one summer we came back only to find it not allowed any more?

Since when did standing up for the truth make anyone a terrorist? Oh there will be those who argue that Christians killed more people in the Crusades than anyone else. Really? Want to argue facts on that? You might just want to do some fact checking before you go there. Can you tell me what the purpose of the Crusades were? The real history not the watered down version our children are being spoon-fed now in school.

The "Holy Roman Empire," founded by Otto I, King of Germany in 962 A.D., launches a series of 8 crusades to "liberate" the Holy Land from the Muslims (1095-1272). Did you see it, only 8 crusades happened during those time frames and I'm sure you're telling yourself, well the "Christians" killed a lot of Muslims during that time frame. 8 wars killed between 1 to 3 million people. 

Wow, you must be thinking that is really horrible. All those innocent lives taken for the sake of God. Now let's reverse the tables and see how many lives the Muslims have claimed since Muhammad came to power in 610AD.  Since the birth of Christ, there have been approximately 43 million Christians have died just for their faith, and the count is still rising. Still think the numbers lie? Oh and for the record the nation of Israel has been in existence in borders much larger than they are today as promised by God, Himself in approximately 1406BC, so honestly whose land is it really? There are those that would argue Israel was never a nation. You might want to read Exodus to find out for sure! The borders Israel has now, from the 1967 six day war, are not the ones God wanted them to have. One day God will right this wrong.



We have one group of people, Muslims, trying to rid the world of people that they believe don't have a right to exist, Jews and Christians as is stated in their own book, The Quran 9:5 "And when the forbidden months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them and take them prisoners, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush." and you have Christians standing up for the absolute truth of the Bible Jesus shared, which states in Matthew 5:44, " to love your enemies and pray for those that persecute you", and that in John 3:17, "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

Tell me which group is the real terrorists? The ones that preach the truth of a God of Love or the ones that believe in a Holy War that necessitates the cleansing of an entire race of people simply because they are God's chosen ones?

Don't Worry About Israel, Pray for America!



Last night changed everything for me.

For so long, the fire within my Spirit has been dampened, the embers still alive but not knowing what to do to cause the spark that I had when I first became a believer.

You remember how it was, you were super excited to share your experience with others, to read your Bible, and you couldn't wait to get to church.

Well I got that back!!!

It came from a simple, powerful message that CAN NOT be ignored. The very future of America is sitting right on the precipice of death.

You've seen the signs right?

Or are you like I was, sitting on your couch, watching ISIS behead Christians and thinking to yourself, "You know that kind of thing should be stopped. Why isn't anyone doing anything to put an end to this?" Do you even know what ISLAM means?

Perhaps you recall a man named Hilter who attempted to wipe an entire race of people off the map! We vowed that if something like that should ever happen, we, as the United States, would not let that happen again!

But are we doing anything? Why are we letting a terrorist organization known as ISIS slowly creep ever closer and stand idly by and do nothing. Say nothing.

The one thing I will do is to please watch this moving video from Pastor Jack Hibb's of Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills who clearly spells out for ALL AMERICANS what WILL happen if we don't wake up to what is happening in the Middle East.

There is a reason why the United States isn't mentioned in the book of Revelation and I urge to to watch this. It was what our pastor opted to show up last night so we could wake up from our apathetic and complacent place and begin praying right now for a revival to come to America.

Will YOU watch it? Will you share this post or link with every single person and ask them to watch it for themselves and decide if it's worth doing anything about? It runs almost an hour, but trust me when I say it will be the best hour of your life ever spent!

We CAN NOT sit back and wait for our government to do something, WE all need to do our part to make sure our leaders move in the right direction. Look around, the enemy is running out of time, but he's moving swiftly for the harvest is ripe.

Remember YOU have been warned! Only we can save this country!
Ezekiel 33: 1-6 NIV ~ The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’
